LEGON ATITUDE ON LD PROBED House Committee Studying Possibility of Money Influence. By the Assoclated Press. Evidence as to whether money might have been used to influence the 1933 American Legion Convention to indorse the gold standard was sought yester- day by the House committee studying un-American activities. ‘The committee, in executive session, turned from its inquiry into com- munism to confer for more than two hours with Albert G. Christmas about money reportedly given to Gerald C. MacGuire. Attorney for Clark. Christmas was identified by the committee as an attorney for Robert Sterling Clark, sewing machine manu- facturer, now in Europe. MacGuire, employe in a New York brokerage firm, also was interesting to the committee because of charges by Gen. Smedley D. Butler that MacGuire suggested the Marine become Fascist chief of the United States. MacGuire was described by the committee as hav- ing been interested in a ‘“‘committee for a sound dollar” and to have been in Chicago when the Legion indorsed the gold standard. While the committee hearing pro- ceeded at the Capitol, the American Federation of Labor downtown moved to scotch reports that the federation was interested in a call for a “Na- tional Congress for Unemployment and Social Insurance.” Called by “Communists.” ‘William Green, federation president, said in a broadcast letter that this impression was a “grievous error” and that those who called the meeting were Communists “using the unem- ployment insurance issue for the pur- mittee room during the morning to be asked about these assertions which the committee says MacGuire made: Priest Honored GIVEN MEDAL FOR RE- SEARCH IN CHEMISTRY.
